Question

Focusing on the mechanism linking complex I and ATP synthase depicted in figure 3 in the article, compare that hypothetical mechanism to the classical presentation described in our textbook. What are the major differences between this mechanism and Peter Mitchel’s original chemiosmotic theory? What are the similarities.

Figure 3. A possible H+ circuit inside respiring membrane. The phosphate groups of phospholipids on both sides of the membrane are shown by brown ellipsoids.
The image proposes that the H+ (red dotted line) are transferred to the Glu 58 (E58) at the centre of subunit c through subunit a of ATP synthase by proton
tunnelling. H+ would flow from the periplasmic side, always bound to phospholipid heads. This can be arranged in each layer of the membrane.

Figure 1. Schematic of the 1961 Mitchell chemiosmotic theory. A delocalized coupling is depicted among protons extruded by the electron transport chain (ETC) and
ATP synthesis. The overall process is arbitrarily divided in the two phases: the 'RedOx coupling', in which the proton movement is operated by the ETC, and the
'proton coupling', in which proton movement is coupled with ATP synthesis, by F,F₁-ATP synthase.
